“And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the Lord was come into the camp.”
When the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel gave a mighty shout, so that the earth resounded—*vateruah teshu'ah* (a great shout arose), the war cry of confidence. Yet the shout is premature; it is faith in the symbol, not in the God the symbol represents.
